Jake Paul\u2019s sparring partner says he\u2019s made more in 2 months than entire MMA career Instagram\/anthony_prettyboy\/JakePaulJake Paul\u2019s sparring partner, Anthony Taylor, has revealed he\u2019s made more money in two months helping the YouTuber prepare for his fight against Tyron Woodley than he\u2019s earned in his entire MMA career. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has risen up in the ranks with an undefeated 3-0 record. Now, he\u2019s set for his biggest challenge yet against former UFC champ Tyron Woodley, and is paying his sparring partner some big bucks in the process. Anthony Taylor is set to battle Tommy Fury, the brother of boxing icon Tyson Fury, on the same card. As such, he\u2019s been training too, and views Jake Paul as a real competitor. Speaking with Betway Insider, Taylor explained how much better Paul has become in the six weeks of sparring with him. Jake Paul has leveled up \u201cYou can see his improvements from his first fight with Gib through to Nate Robinson and Ben Askren, kind of cleaning up some of the sloppiness,\u201d he revealed. \u201cHe\u2019s kind of like A.J. McKee. The way that A.J. shows something different every fight, he\u2019s developing every fight. Jake\u2019s improved every camp; he\u2019s developing power, he\u2019s developed speed in his punches, great footwork, inside boxing. He\u2019s becoming a complete boxer in his world.\u201d That doesn\u2019t mean he believes that Paul is going to suddenly start fighting for boxing championships, but Taylor is impressed with The Problem Child. \u201cI\u2019m not saying he\u2019s going to fight Canelo or he\u2019s going to fight a top five boxer, but he looks great, prepared and ready to go,\u201d he said. Jake Paul\u2019s sparring partner cashes in Taylor also revealed how lucrative the chance to train with Paul has been. \u201cI had the opportunity to fight in Cage Warriors but I couldn\u2019t pass up the money Jake was offering,\u201d he stated. \u201cI\u2019m getting paid more money as Jake\u2019s training partner in two months than I made in my whole entire MMA career in six years. I swear to God, I made more money with Jake in two months than my whole MMA career,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThat\u2019s disturbing when you think about it, because I fought for Bellator. I\u2019ve fought two top five contenders in Bellator and I had a good run.\u201d As for his prediction for Jake\u2019s match with Tyron, Taylor predicts Paul will take it. \u201cWhen you put a guy like Jake in the boxing ring with a guy like Tyron, Jake\u2019s going to win that all day, just because he\u2019s been working on the repetition and the mechanics of boxing. Tyron technically has a puncher\u2019s chance but Jake is a better boxer. Tyron is a better fighter because of his MMA background, but Jake is a better boxer,\u201d Taylor explained. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people that think Tyron is going to knock out Jake. But I see it the other way around. He\u2019s looking great.\u201d Jake Paul faces off against Tyron Woodley on August 29.
